A warm welcome to MGEU's newest members - MYS (Coach Program) Local 453!

May 27, 2019

The MGEU
is pleased to welcome our newest members -- Macdonald Youth Services (MYS, Coach
Program) Local 453 -- who ensure young Winnipeg students struggling
within the existing educational system get the support they need to reach their
potential.

"Like
so many of us at the MGEU, these are folks who care for a living,” said MGEU
President Michelle Gawronsky. “They believe deeply in what they do and decided
that the MGEU is the best way to have a strong voice not only within their
workplace, but out there with the public. Publicly-funded services like the
Coach program are an investment in the future of our kids."

Members of
the MYS Coach Program are just the latest of many working in Manitoba's
community-based social services sector, to step up and form their own MGEU Local
in the past year.

"The MGEU already represents members who work in Macdonald Youth Services' Alternative Parent and Crisis Stabilization programs," Gawronsky added, "so Local 453 is such a natural addition. Together, we can accomplish so much more than on our own."
